Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery doesn't regret how the situation shook out between the franchise and long-time linebacker Brian Urlacher.
"Absolutely not. It was a very straight-forward process. We had a very honest and open exchange between Brian's representatives," Emery said.
"There was no lack of clarity. No surprises. Brian's been a great player, a Hall of Fame player. He's done great things for the Chicago Bears. We've committed more resources to Brian than any Bear in the history of the organization. We were willing to commit more. In the end, we just couldn't agree to what that amount was, and it's no more than that."
